C# .net - Splitting video

growse · 15 Sep 2006 at 16:10

I need to be able to take a video file and chop the first x seconds and the last y seconds from it, and then save it out under a different filename. I can already do this with WMV files through interop, but it's hopelessly unreliable (sometimes no output file appears, even though no exception is thrown). I now need to do this with MPEG4 files. Am I right to be looking at the directx SDK? Anyone ever done this before?

Maybe DirectShow. Neither library is very use friendly, and the documentation is awful. Just a warning!

As an alternative you could probably use JMF (Java media framework). I haven't used it, but unlike directX and directshow its probably documented properly, so you will actually know what your doing!

Solved the problem - running ffmpeg now :0
